Geometry and Escher

shared by Michelle Lee on 18 Nov 09 - Cached

Mathematics, particularly the theme of Geometry played a large role in almost all of the work Escher created in his life time. He would often use tessellation's and his use of polyhedral and geometric distortions have been an inspiration to both mathematicians and scientists over the last century.

  He often used tessellation or geometric distortions in most of his work. Mathematical concepts in art! :)

I did tessellations when I was teaching 6th grade math 7 yrs ago.

exploring the Elements and Principles of Art along with different media and techniques such as pencil, acrylic paint, watercolor, printing, and some sculpting. Students are expected to keep an open mind and creative spirit. Students are also expected to develop their own ideas.

But what if students don't want to explore their own ideas?!

"The ascent to the highest story is by stairs, and at their side are water engines, by means of which persons, appointed expressly for the purpose, are continually employed in raising water from the Euphrates into the garden."

Waterfall - Escher - 0 views

shared by Sarah Clem on 18 Nov 09 - Cached

Escher's Waterfall is based on the Impossible Triangle of his friend and admirer  Roger Penrose,  the British mathematician and physicist. In fact, Escher incorporated not one but two Penrose tribars, as they are now known, in his lithograph.
- Sarah Clem on 18 Nov 09
  
  Escher was obviously really good at math. I like to use him as an example of how art and math connect and why math is a cool subject. (Michelle, math is cool! you know the MS kids attitude!) :)

Here is our physical realization of Escher's Waterfall. You can also watch this object rotating in space in this avi movie. This realization stems from using three joint Penrose triangles along the water stream. Note also the way the house is warped so as to look natural from this viewing direction (only).

  This trippy little image shows how something that is not actually possible in the 3-d is possible in the 2-d world.

  Sometimes my students draw things like thing on accident when they are trying to draw things in believable space. At first they don't understand how to arrange objects in space so objects they want to be far away appear close up and vice versa...
